Do any of you engineers out there know the effect of ambient air temp on an air cooled bike? Is it as simple as:
Air=20 degrees warmer, Engine=20 degrees warmer, or is there more/less of a correlation between the two?
My bike runs at 3-4 bars whether I'm along the coast in 75 degree air or in the desert with 100 degree air. I can't tell you the exact air temp, because for some UNEXPLAINED reason the M1100 doesn't give air temp like the M696 and M1100s!!!
I also can't tell you the exact oil temp, because Ducati uses a silly bar system. I'd much prefer it just showed the oil temp numerically...
